CARL SCHREITER MRS. GRACE RATHWELL ALBERT SIMAY Principal Dean of Girls Dean of Boys Aclminiftmtion Hello. Yes, this is Principal Schreiter speaking. Just a moment and l'll connect you with Mr. Simay, our new dean of boys. Yes, he's stepped right into the swing of things here at Chico High. Or would you rather speak to our new girls' dean, Mrs. Rathwell? Yes, both Mrs. Rathwell and Mr. Simay are new at school this year. Mr. Carl Schreiter, who was the vice-principal and dean of boys last year, and a teacher here for many years, has stepped up to the job of principal. Our administrators, Mr. Schreiter, Mrs. Grace Rath- well, and Mr. Albert Simay were all new in their jobs at Chico High, but they have carried us through another well-spent year of work and fun. fP'rincipal's Greetings: Each year at this time we can pause for a moment to reflect upon our association together during the past school year and to look forward to the many things we can hope to accom- plish during the year ahead. This association with you has been far more than pleasant. I feel that it has been fruit- ful for all of us, that we have all grown, and that many of you can say, Well done, 1947-48. Each of us has his life before hi-m, to mak-e of it, within certain limits, what he Will. Look back upon this year, think over your accomplishments and failures, and resolve to do all in your power to make the year ahead one of outstanding success and growth. Remember that in our country, as in no other, youth has the opportunity of building a well-rounded, happy, productive life. Energy, initiative, intelligence, character, and indus- try are the basic elements of human progress. You can, if you will, provide these elements and be forces for good for yourselves, for your community, and for your country. Let us look ahead together and resolve that we will make the best of ourselves, so that we may not only build our personal lives but contribute as constructive citizens to the welfare of our nation. Sincerely, CARL SCHREITER. PAGE l 0

DIANA LAUMER Vice-President PATRICIA CONWAY Secretary DOROTHY BROYLES Treasurer R tudent Council The meeting is adjourned, said Richard Glenn, Student Body President, and the twenty-live Student Council members rose to leave Mrs. Rathwell's office. Diana Laumer and Pat Conway were discussing the Old Clothes Drive, or was it the Christmas Feed? Dorothy Broyles was explaining to Lowell Draper the profit made from concessions at the football games. The Yell Leaders were mak- ing plans for the sale of red and gold rooters' caps. President Richard was review- ing a proposed amendment to the constitution with class representatives. Mrs. Rathwell, adviser of the council, happily locked the door to her office when all had vacated, for she knew that the unfinished business could be handled the next day in her fifth period student-government class.

X Now, class, your assignment for tonight is- -putt-putt-putt-clip-clip. As I was saying- -putt-putt-putt-clip-. Hearing things? No, it's just Mr. Lambeth and Mr. Boydson mowing the lawn and clipping the shrubs outside our windows. This is too much, we shriek and leave the classroom. In the hall we hear other voices. There's the bell. Wonder how -many victims we'll have this period! The students who help in the Attendance Office are at it again, waiting expectantly for their unlucky friends who aren't making it to class on time. Mrs. Lough, head of the Attendance Oflice, has become a handwriting expert, while Mrs. Martin does a good job of differentiating between a true case of measles and spring fever. And if you think you are fooling your parents about your attendance, you're mis- taken, because Mrs. Byerly writes letters home to them every time you cut school. Then we wander into the Registrar's Ofiice, where we are greeted with, So you thought your past was a secret! Ah-ha, not any more, for we have an up-to-date record of your entire school life, no more, no less. Hastily leaving Mr. Leonard and Mrs. Bales, we join the search for poor Mr. Al Schlue- ter, who never leaves school, according to the records kept in the Main Oflice, where all teachers check in and out daily. Of course, we will conclude that Mrs. Crouch and Miss Chinca close the office before Al leaves the gym, and not that he spends each night in the locker room! In this busy ofiice, everything happens, from receiving visitors to duplicat- ing examinations. On the other side of the hall do we hear, Clothes to mend, old clothes to mend ? No, it is only Mrs. Furtado, our textbook clerk, crying, Books to mend, old books to mend? Pencils, new pencils! Any old books? Here comes Mr. Danels, our building engineer. Need a few bleachers built for that choir concert? Is the pencil sharpener broken again? Or do you just want a little more heat from the furnace? The man for the job is Mr, Danels. Back in our classroom after school, we try again to get our assignment, but, alas, all we can hear is whisk-whisk-whisk-bang-bang-bang-scrape-scrape, as our janitors, Mr. Cady, Mr. Long, Mr. Crews, and Mr. Raby go about their task of cleaning the building. Leaving school at night, we meet our night watchman, Mr. Jessup, coming on duty. What a day! Mrs. Crouch and Miss Chinca serve Chico High. V PAGE l l
